Rights
On November 13, 2003, Stranger String Band gave permission through Ancient Harmony archivist Joel Hudson for shows to be hosted at the Archive:
These two offshoot bands of former members of Ancient Harmony recordings may be
circulated under the same taping policy as Ancient Harmony.
Steve and Shell's Driftwood Express - abbrev dxp
and Chase's Stranger String Band - abbrev stranger (ssb coincidentally is
already taken by the Shell Stamps Band) which featured Steve, Shell, and Jay
Hoots on Drums.
I'll get there policy's posted shortly... [see below]
Thanks,
Joel Hudson
Official Archivist
Ancient Harmony (and associated side/hiatus projects) and Mood Cultivation Project

Admin note: Please use "stranger" as filest prefix for this band, as "ssb" conflicts with Shell Stamps Band here!
Policy
The follow taping policy cut and pasted from:
http://www.ancientharmony.com/tapepolicy.html
Ancient Harmony allows audio recording of their live shows for non-commercial home use only. Any resale or use of live concert tapes for commercial gain without explicit written permission of Ancient Harmony or its agent is strictly prohibited. We request that you adhere to the following guidelines for recording Ancient Harmony performances.
AUDIENCE RECORDING is allowed at all shows. Depending on the particular venue, you may or may not be able to set up your rig in the best spot in the room. Obviously, common sense and courtesy to the other attendees should prevail. If you use a microphone stand, please keep it out of the line of sight between the soundboard and/or lighting control board and the stage. Our technical staff needs to see the stage clearly.
SOUNDBOARD RECORDING is allowed at certain larger venues when available. Face it, there are just some places where the soundboard feed is going to be all drums and vocals because that is all that needs amplifying. Obviously, we want you to have the best representation of what you heard, so, on some occasions, soundboard tape feeds will not be given. When the band is multi-track recording a show for commercial purposes, soundboard tape feeds will not be given.
ANY AUDIO RECORDING MEDIA may be used. Technology is moving way too fast to try to keep up with this issue.
BE PREPARED and use common sense. Bring the necessary adaptors and connectors and cables to get your patch. AC power will often be made available in order to conserve disposable batteries, but tapers should pack a set of batteries in case it is not available.
Photography & Video Taping FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY is not allowed during the performance. Photography by available light is allowed. We suggest that you use a high speed film.
VIDEO TAPING is not allowed.

Also, Joel's Jamlive generic taping policy:
http://jamlive.org/taping.htm
We allow and encourage all forms of audio and video taping, trading, and the electronic free distribution of our material via the web provided that no profit is obtained by third parties in exchange for our recordings. Soundboard access will be made available at certain venues, however tapers are encouraged to bring their own microphones, cables, and rechargeable batteries in case AC power is not available. In some small venues, the soundboard feed would be almost all drums and vocals and in those circumstances soundboard patches will not be given out for the obvious reason that it would render such a recording unlistenable and would be a poor representation of the band's performance. Soundboard feeds will not be given out in the rare case that the band is multi-track recording the show for future release. See one of the band members if you have any questions or need assistance.
